nevermind -

figured it out
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I probably have a defective phone.

I've installed the 32bit drivers for my WinPc, and selected Mass Storage and enabled USB debugging on my mac.

On the pc, I can see two drives but when clicked, I get the "please insert a disk into drive" error. eh?

On OSX, the mac obviously recognizes my phone, I can use ADB without issue and OSX attempts to use the phone as a modem, but the drives never mount at all or even show up in disk utility.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Vibrant General] cashless:
Double Twist (OSX) also recognizes the device, but if I can't mount the drives, it's useless to me.

#Frustation
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
To get a Mac to recognize the phone, you have to turn on USB debugging under Settings > Applications > Development. I had the same problem but this solution fixed it.

Not sure what to do about a PC though. Maybe the same fix works for both?
[Vibrant General] wease:
There's another thread going on with same issues.

Seems to be a re-occuring issue. I am going to replace mine today.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
You didn't read where I said that I did that? Gimme a little credit...
[Vibrant General] cashless:
This might have something to do with why I can't mount my drives on an computer:

When I tried to mount via adb, this was my output:

$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount: Operation not permitted
[Vibrant General] wease:
Plug in phone USB to computer,

Choose Mass Storage

Swip down from the top bar and choose mount USB.

Now you will be able to see MicroSD as well as phone storage.

Wish I know this before I returned the first phone. 8' )
[Vibrant General] cashless:
There's no "mount usb" option in the notification bar... Well, at least on mine.
[Vibrant General] thedon809:
Click where it says usb connected. Then it will give you the option to mount it.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I shoulda explained better. The "USB connected" option doesn't appear at all when I connect to my Mac. It does in Win though.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Does it show up in System Profiler? You said the Mac tries to use it as a modem, so I would think it would.

When mine is plugged in, with USB debugging enabled, I get 2 USB options in the status dropdown. USB Debugging Connected, and USB connected. Clicking the "USB connected" gives me the option to mount the drives to the computer. Once I hit that, the Mac sees them in Finder just fine.

I would expect it would work about the same in Windows. :confused:
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I'm sure it does, really haven't looked yet because I'm sure of the usefulness since I know it recognizes the phone. The only thing I haven't tried so far is a full wipe, which I'm reluctant to do, but will try tonight.
[Vibrant General] stefan.wiswedel:
I am having the same issue with my HTC desire. When I plug it into my Mac, it charges but the mac doesn't recognize it as an external storage device and the phone doesn't recognize that it's plugged into a computer, it simply charges (no USB notification).

Any ideas how to fix this? I have USB debugging enabled ...

having trouble with ADB

i sold my nexus one, so my computer is setup for ADB devices but for some reason it doesn't find the vibrant...also tried to root using method in android developement and it didn't work

any ideas?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Going to assume that your phone is rooted. Go into settings -> applications -> development and make sure that USB debugging is enabled as well as Allow mock locations

then try it in ADB and it should detect your Vibrant.. make sure that drivers for the phone are also installed
[Vibrant General] fordstang99:
phones not rooted yet...does it need root to use adb? which phone drivers u talkin about the usb for androidsdk or is there something else?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929 Those drivers.

And uhm.. I don't know if it needs root to use ADB but it would make sense to be rooted so you can have ADB without any restrictions.

Was USB debugging enabled?
[Vibrant General] fordstang99:
ok well i put the update.zip file on the root of the internal memory and hold down the volume up and down and it just boots normally

ok adb is working....i didn't see those drivers thanks

now just the update.zip, cant seem to get into recovery, i geta Downloading....Do not turn off target !!!

Same Problem USB DEBUGGING

I just want to be able to use the USB Debugging feature. Is this something that is unly available with root? If so then I have no problem, if now I am not able to have the pc detect my Vibrant when in USB Debugging mode. It will connect without it so I'm curious as to my first question. I am not rooted, but plan to soon.

Thanks for any help

Is there no one who is not having trouble connecting to ADB. I have seen many posts of those who have ADB working flawlessly. I am running xp pro and have connected both my G1 and Mytouch through this machine, but I was able to use the ADB Debugging option. I cant seem to get this working.

I would greatly appreciate a little help.

[Vibrant General] ISprayCandy:
I had a few issues getting adb to work also. Turns out my adb server was out of date. Once I downloaded the sdk all over again it works fine. If you haven't done that try it because I was stuck and could connect to my other phones, but not this one.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Why would you use winblues os to run adb? Use the real OS that underlines your Android phones!
[Vibrant General] crxforya:
I dont know what ur talking about. Nobody on this thread said anything about winblues???
[Vibrant General] crxforya:
Thank you for this info, ill give it a shot
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
you need winblues drivers for sammy, search for samsung kei software
[Vibrant General] crxforya:
The updating of my SDK made the difference. I was able to install the correct driver and now ADB is working smoothly again. Thanks for all your help.

Hi all :)

i've just bought this card.

i try to format this card with all size buffer : 4096 8092 32k 64k...

and i have always lag when i use it on my rhodium with athineos rom 23563 and 4.49.25.91 radio.

I use my card to stock a lot of documents, files, mp3. when i use it from my PC, it's very fast between 8-9mo to 13-14 Mo => very good for trasnfer

But when i put it inside my rhodium, it cant search music on music tab, sometimes on total commander it freeze about 1 or 2 minutes!, when i open tomtom it freeze too...:s

i think with a sdcard like that it will be a great experience..but now i lost many hours to test without succeed...:s

someone can help me please?

edit : for use normaly my phone, i need to use my old sdcard 8go :'( :'(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stcardinal:
I don't think there's such a thing as a class 10. It's 2, 4 or 6.

So your card might be a class 2 which is the slowest.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kwanice:
lool no no it's a class 10 for sure !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:

i had a kingston 16GB. i orderd it online, the price should have been a hint that it was afake. after purchasing i investigated fake before it arrived so i would know what to look for. it arrived looking legit , it even had the kingston paperwork and packaging, but it was a fake.

when i put in my pc and foramted it came back a 1GB stick. ya might try to format and see what happens.

YOU SAID:

... lag ... with athineos rom 23563 ... from my PC, it's very fast ... sometimes on total commander it freeze about 1 or 2 minutes! ... help me please?

I REPLY:

My card: Bought March 2010 at Newegg #20-139-120 "FLASH 16G|KST MICSDHC SDC10/16GB" (card + adapter)

I ran the Kingston Validation tool, since there are knockoffs out there, and got the Kingston "web_report" - verifying the serial and the license code.

Has run flawlessly and FAST on EnergyROM 23xxx (currently running Energy.RHODIUM.23673.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24)

Total commander runs fast, no freezes. Currently loaded with only 771 items and 248mb, though, so it might not be a fair test.

I placed it in the SD adapter and plugged it into PC, and ran Disk Checker v3.3 (30 day trial from rssoftlab.com) and this is what it says: Kingston FAT32 512 bytes/sector 64 sectors/cluster (16gb, no partitions)

how do i run the ruu from bootloader
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
What's version r u running.... if you have the ota ones. You need to find an update.zip ones and you can't just run ruu from the new ota to downgrade.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afflaq:
If you have one of the pc36 ones you'll need to rename that file to PC36IMG.zip then boot to the bootloader. Make sure your sdcard is formatted as fat32 and the file is in the root of the card.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] menash:
Hello all,

First, let me thank you all on a great job making my life easier and better using my Blackstone - I followed the instructions in this forum and was able to install the new Energy WM6.5 Rom on my PDA and it works GREAT!! much faster and reliable tham wm6.1 i've been using for a year and a half!!

Regarding the Heb support - i installed the hebrew only cab uploaded by Avimak followed by the fingerkeyboard and finally install the cab that resets the fonts.

Everything is working great - i can read and write Hebrew and English easily.

The only problem is with the e-mail accounts - on the first e-mail account (the outlook one that d/l messeges via cable when synchronized) the hebrew works great. But when i inserted another e-mail account i can not read hebrew on it (and still able to read hebrew on the first one).

Do you have any idea as to why this is happening and how i can solve it?

Many thanks,

Menash

When I look at the HTC Aria, there are many more widgets listed under Android while the Captivate has a much shorter list. How do I add those widgets to the Captivate?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DanteDrac:
Anrdoid Market.

On a side note I really recommend Beautiful Widgets. It is worth the money and adds a very Sense UI like clock / widget fun.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dsjr2006:
Most of those are likely HTC widgets that only come with their devices.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DanteDrac:
Good point that is more than likely the case. For a sense ui like feel get LaucherPro (Its free) and Beautiful Widgets (Paid). Or if you like LauncherPro it has a paid version that adds a few extra widgets.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] _Opiate_:
If your using LauncherPro or ADW-Launcher I HIGHLY recommend giving "Pure Messenger Widget" a try. It's by FAR the best social network widget out there. And if your using one of those two launchers I just mentioned its scrollable! You can customize it to make it just like HTC's FriendStream or Twitter widget.

What about things like the stock news and weather widget? I didn't find that in the market and now since replacing touchwiz with launcher pro I don't have access to the daily briefing widget anymore.

I go into Gallery to view my albums of pics and unfortunately it not only puts a folder in the gallery for each folder of pictures I have but also for every single album or single in my phone/memory card (album art). uggggh I don't see any settings to disable that or omit certain folders. any hacks?
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
Yeah, I've got the same issue. Furthermore, the music app shows all of my additional ringtones and notification sounds. Haven't found a fix yet.
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
Same issue here, but to be fair I don't think it is a Vibrant issue, it's a general Android thing. My G1 always did this too pre and post froyo... I never bothered to figure out a fix though.

yeah I had this issue on my G1 also. Nothing new. I wish there was a filter setting or a watch-folder setting

mine does NOT put the album art in the gallery. i have my music on the sdcard in a folder called MUSIC

but my music app does give me every sound under the sun. it's annoying because i am now FORCED to make playlists without the erroneous phone sounds. never had to do that before. ;/
[Vibrant General] southpaw773:
android's going on 2 years old and El Goog has still completely ignored these little bugs
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
It's not a bug. A bug would be if the gallery app was *designed* to NOT show certain images. It's not. it's designed to show every image on the storage drives. It's a poor design, not a bug.
[Vibrant General] duglas:
the Gallery just needs to have the ability to hide certain folders and files so you do not see them... Has been an issue for me since my G1 and 1.0!!
[Vibrant General] chastbi:
Hopefully your album art is in a different folder than your music. If so, stick a .nomeda file in the folder. (Just use notepad and save as type "all files" so it doesn't add a .txt to the end.) Works for hiding sound files too.
[Vibrant General] coolguy949:
I don't have any album art showing in my gallery because I embed the album art in to each MP3 file's meta data. Use something like MP3 tag to do it (Winamp I think does it too). If you use WMP to Sync music like I do, the music player doesn't see most album art anyway. It's best to just embed the image in to the meta data.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
Here's the solution:

rename all the .jpg in the music folders "Folder.jpg". This works for me. I'm assuming of course you have one folder for each album and each folder has 1 pic file for the cover art.
[Vibrant General] coolguy949:
The best way to do it is to use something like MP3Tag to embed the album art in each MP3 file. This makes sure each song has the album part showing up. That way the gallery doesn't index your album art as well.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
Hmm I might do this for the misc singles that are placed in a single folder. Yay for more things to kill time at work with. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] SoCalTiger:

I've stopped using the gallery and uninstalled it. Moved onto an app called Just Pictures, you can hide and exclude folders and pictures and such.

And Music i've gotten rid of the stock music player and just run MIUI player. Has the option to exclude files under a certain size (good for avoiding ringtones).
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
on CM7 the following works:

using the stock file manager, go to the folder which contains the files you don't want to appear in the gallery / music player. Then go to settings and there you have "exclude from media scan".
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
.nomedia file in the folder...simple
[Vibrant General] Senorkabob:
This is the quickest and best app ever.
[Vibrant General] shrapnelx:
Which will keep it from seeing ANY media in the folder, like your MP3s...

Definitely best to embed the album art in the MP3.

Just got my first Android phone yesterday (the Captivate) so I'm probably not much of an authority here as other people are but I'll try to help as much as I can.

You might have to uninstall and reinstall Swype on your phone...as far as instructions on how to do it as well as the .apk for it, you can find them somewhere here in the forums. If you need help trying to find it, I'll help as much as I can.

Maybe changing the UI from TouchWiz to something else as I did may help with lag in general. I switched to LauncherPro and it helped with "lag" when moving between home screens.

If all else fails, head back to the store and try to get it exchanged. Could be a glitch with your phone.

As I said, I'm no expert at all but just want to help as much as I can.
